The pronoun 'whom' is an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun, the objective form (used as the object of a verb or a preposition).

The noun phrase 'to whom' is to ask what person or to relate what person something was told, sent, given, etc.

Examples for 'to whom':

To whom do I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun)

The person to whom you give the application is the manager. (relative pronoun)

Other examples for 'whom':

You saw whom at the mall? (interrogative pronoun, direct object of the verb 'saw')

The customer for whom we made the cake will pick it up at noon. (relative pronoun, object of the preposition 'for')

How do you know whether you should use 'who' or 'whom' in a sentence?

The basic rule is this: Use the pronoun "who" when it is the subject of a clause and use "whom" when it is the object of a clause.Probably 90% of the places where you need to use "whom" are prepositional phrases. It's always "to whom", "from whom", "on whom", "with whom", "over whom", "of whom", since "whom" is the object of the preposition.If you are using the pronoun as the subject of the sentence, use "who". It's always, "Who is", "Who went", "Who did", "Who came", "Who left",Here's a trick to help remember: It's the same as the difference between "he" and "him". If a reply to your sentence would use "he", then your sentence should use "who"; if a reply to your sentence would use "him", then your sentence should use "whom". (Remember that "whom" and "him" both end with 'm'.) For example,"Who made this mess?" "He made this mess.""Who drove the car?" "He drove the car.""To whom did you give the keys?" "I gave them to him.""From whom did you hear that rumor?" "I heard it from him."Here's a tricky one--the subject is "you" and the object is "whom", but they're turned around:"Whom did you hit with a snowball?" "I hit him."

Should you use whom you trust or who you trust?

You can use both who and whom you trust. Who can be used as a subject and an object of a clause, but not object of a preposition. Whom can only be used as an object. She is the one who is always there for me. (not whom because who is the subject of is) _She is the only one who (_or whom) I trust. (object of trust) She is the one on whom (not who) I can rely . (object of the preposition on)


When to use 'whom'?

'Whom' is used as the object of a sentence, typically following a preposition or a verb. Use 'whom' when referring to the object of a verb or a preposition, while 'who' is used as the subject. For example, you would say "To whom did you give the book?" because 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'to.'
